Why Switch
Why choose a heat pump?
Lower bills, lower carbon, longer lifespan than a boiler.
Lower Running Costs
Heat pumps are 300% efficient — for every 1kW of electricity, you get 3kW of heat. Typical savings of £500–£1,300/year vs gas, oil, or LPG.
£7,500 Grant Available
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers £7,500 of your installation cost. We handle the entire application — you just get the confirmation email.
20+ Year Lifespan
Heat pumps last over 20 years — nearly double a gas boiler. Less maintenance, no annual gas safety checks, fewer breakdowns.
Zero Carbon Heating
Heat pumps produce no on-site emissions. Pair with solar panels for virtually free, zero-carbon heating.
Future-Proof
The gas boiler ban on new builds starts 2025. Heat pumps are the future of home heating — get ahead of the curve.
0% VAT
Heat pump installations are VAT-free until 2027. That's a saving of up to £2,000 on a typical installation.

Got Questions?
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the most common heat pump questions.
Can you install a heat pump in an old or period property?
Yes. Heat pumps work in period properties — the key is proper design. Older homes lose more heat than modern ones, so we carry out detailed room-by-room heat loss calculations to size the system correctly. Some radiators may need upsizing, and we may recommend draught-proofing or insulation improvements, but the heat pump itself will keep your home just as warm as your existing boiler.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump on a listed building?
If your property is listed, you will likely need listed building consent for the external unit. In conservation areas, permitted development rights may also be restricted. We have experience working with local planning authorities and can advise on the application process. In most cases, careful positioning of the unit — away from principal elevations — is sufficient to gain approval.
Will a heat pump keep an old house warm enough?
Yes — when designed properly. The common misconception is that heat pumps only work in well-insulated homes. In reality, they work in any home — you just need to size the system to match the heat loss. For a period property, this may mean a larger heat pump or upsized radiators. We calculate the exact requirements during the survey so there are no surprises.
My period home is on oil — is a heat pump worth it?
Absolutely. Rural period homes on oil or LPG see the biggest savings from switching to a heat pump — typically £900–£1,300 per year. You also eliminate the hassle of oil deliveries, the risk of a leaking oil tank, and the volatile pricing of fossil fuels. Combined with the £7,500 grant, the payback period is often just 4–6 years.
